What can we REALLY do??

Smart move if you can hang on that long. Before age 62 gets no COLAs (though you would get the FERS Supplement to bridge you to age 62 if you retired at age 60 since you have 20 years of service at age 60).

You will also get the extra one-tenth percent boost to 1.1% instead of 1% per year of service since you will be age 62 and have at least 20 years of service.

Age 62 would be 22 years of service, so 24.2% instead of 22% of High 3 for annuity.
Anyone remember what the offer was last time they offered early retirement? I know it's been awhile since they offered it but one can hope. Once they drive dll those retirement eligible out they will offer the rest of us too expensive for their taste carriers an out.

By the way silver hair your handle always reminds me of Madea.

Federal requirements are age 57 with 30 years. Interesting the post office chooses to make retirement TOUGHER when so much of our jobs are more physically demanding.
I guess I don't understand how the usps is making it tougher? We retire under the exact same rules as any other federal employee. (with the exception of most federal law enforcement positions)

57 with 30 and minimum retirement age 55-56 depending upon year born. This is earlier than USPS.

Actually ALL federal service employee's are under the same rules of either FERS or CSRS depending on when you became a career federal employee. OPM is 100% in charge of retirement not the USPS and they could care less about which branch of federal service you work under. It is MRA with 30, 60 with 20, 65 with 5 for ALL federal employees under the FERS system. It is 55 with 30, 60 with 20, 65 with 5 for ALL federal employees under the CSRS system but very few are still CSRS. Has nothing to do with the USPS just when you were hired.

I'm guessing there are some exemptions from that list if I remember correctly when I was looking into being a postal inspector they had a mandatory retirement age and I believe it was 55.

Yes as I had stated in earlier post, federal law enforcement is different. They require retirement at age 55 and you must be able to have 30 years of service at age 55 to even be considered for the job.

Not sure what your last statement means but I used to be interested in USPIS and you had to apply before 36 yrs old and I think the mandatory retirement age is 57.
